Hannah Chalew creates artwork that explores what it means to live in a time of global warming with a collective uncertain future; grounded in the specificity of what’s at stake in the Southern Louisiana landscape where she lives. Her practice explores the historical legacies that got us here to help imagine new possibilities for a livable future. In this lecture, Chalew will discuss her recent body of work, the research that informs her art, and her approach to pursuing an environmentally sustainable studio practice.

Be sure to check out Chalew's Paper Making Workshop in Tyler's Courtyard on April 12.

These events are supported by Temple's General Activity Fund.
